@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks ! I’ll take a look 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Some people at work have made this:

https://github.com/seibert-media/automatix

You put the “commands” in a YAML file. It’s Python and deals a lot with our corner cases. 🥴 Not sure if you want to use it as it is.

(Personally, I’d remove the YAML stuff altogether.)

@mckinley@twtxt.net Yeah, that’s more clear. 👌

Systems that are on all the time don’t benefit as much from at-rest encryption, anyway.

Right, especially not if it’s “cloud storage”. 😅 (We’re only doing it on our backup servers, which are “real” hardware.)

I played with nlpodyssey/verbaflow: Neural Language Model for Go today a little bit today…. First I had to download a ~2GB file (the model), then convert that to a format the program verbaflow understands which came out to roughly ~5GB. Then I tried some of the samples in the README. My god, this this is so goddamn awfully slow its like watching paint dry 😱 All just to predict the next few tokens?! 😳 I had a look at the resource utilisation as well as it was trying to do this “work”, using 100% of 1.5 Cores and ~10GB of Memory 😳 Who da fuq actually thinks any of this large language model (LLM) and neural network crap is actually any good or useful? 🤔 Its just garbage 🤣

@mckinley@twtxt.net Sorry saw the Twt the first time, but sadly I don’t use Tor nor know how to use it in the first place 🤣

Announcing again on this feed for visibility

mckinley.cc is now available as a Tor hidden service: http://mckinley2nxomherwpsff5w37zrl6fqetvlfayk2qjnenifxmw5i4wyd.onion/

I don’t want ~27 hours generating keys to go to waste :)

Check this out 😆

What’s everyone up to this weekend?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reworked the paragraph about security and improved that sentence. Hopefully it’s a little more clear.

However, the key on the unencrypted partition is only valid for the time it takes to reboot, assuming we reboot as soon as the script completes.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I get it. I wouldn’t set this up for anyone else. Systems that are on all the time don’t benefit as much from at-rest encryption, anyway. This is definitely an interesting solution, however, and it has worked well for me in the past 1-2 weeks. We’ll see how it goes in 1-2 years.

Go in 100 Seconds - YouTube – I kind of like what this guy does at times, very short and concise, but very well put together 👌

@darch@neotxt.dk What was the interesting key takeaway for you? 🤔

These are my thoughts currently (from IRC):

[10:40:20]  <prologic> Thinking about writing a do nothing framework in Go
[10:41:10]  <prologic> One in which consumers can define their procedure in their own repo
[10:42:07]  <prologic> And users can of the tool can execute any procedure that the binary has imported
[10:42:58]  <prologic> And eventually implement Run() to turn steps from manual ones to automated ones gradually
[14:51:34]  <xuu> Like for mocking against?
[14:51:43]  <xuu> Not sure I follow
[16:03:04]  <prologic> xuu basically for reducing the activation energy to complete otherwise manual procsses
[16:03:14]  <prologic> where you can gradually turn them into automated processes
[16:03:29]  <prologic> https://blog.danslimmon.com/2019/07/15/do-nothing-scripting-the-key-to-gradual-automation/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m trying to build something like this at my work. Do you have a library of such procedures or are the scripts/binaires built for one proc at a time?

I know it’s no longer a point of pride for a server to have a long uptime… so I’ll say I shamefully admit that I just sent the reboot command to a server with an uptime of 1767 days. I shan’t let one go that long again.

I know to which Debian’s release party I’m going to, how about you?

@prologic@twtxt.net Yep, we do use that approach at work. 👌 I wasn’t convinced at first, either, but I’m beginning to see the benefits.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nice shots. 😊 I’m surprised by the amount of depth of field effect in 35.jpg. Or is that post-proc?

@mckinley@twtxt.net Interesting. For a moment, I thought about using that for our servers at work, but mh, I’d rather not. It’s fine for stuff at home, as you said.

(The way the text is written, you might think that you can specify expiry dates for key slots, because of that “it’s only valid for 30 seconds”. Then I realized that doesn’t make any sense. 😅)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ahh I see ! 😆 They seem darker than the sheep I know 🤔

@mpirnat@mas.to@onelson@mastodon.social Oddly enough, I actually *like* Secret Life of Pets.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Yeah, these are sheep with long hair. I don’t know the exact name or breed. Maybe they’re just about to be sheared.

@mckinley@twtxt.net That’s an interesting article, mate!

@onelson@mastodon.social@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social “Hotel Transylvania” was Sony. Illumination did “Secret Life of Pets” which was godawful, and “Sing” which was tolerable.

@ocdtrekkie@mastodon.social Right. They also did something like “Hotel Transylvania” too iirc.

@onelson@mastodon.social Haven’t seen this yet, but Despicable Me/Minions is Illumination’s most famous franchise, and I find it absolutely awful to watch.

@onelson@mastodon.social Haven’t seen this yet, but Despicable Me/Minions is Illumination’s most famous franchise, and I find it absolutely awful to watch.

I think this might be the first thing I’ve seen that Illumination have done. I bet this is very inline with their other works.

Folks, with each passing minute I feel more and more that I am not the intended audience for this.

Just kidding!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Very nice shots mate 👌 Curious, what animals are those? Ordinary sheep or something else? 🤔

We went on a little bit longer hike again, super nice weather. A bit too hot in the sun already. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2023-05-26/

So BJ’s Wholesale Club… which I purchased a single thing from in like 2020 which included a one-time membership charge, just decided to notify me that it was “upgrading” me to a subscription membership and would begin billing me.

Everything is AI now.
AI this.
AI that.
It’s like a cancer taking away the last remaining bits of humanity from the internet

I survived the crypto storm without so much as dipping a pinky in that pond.
Now AI’s taking it’s shots

The crypto nightmare is over.
A new one begins.
It’s called AI.
